Introducing the new M&H Racemaster DOT-certified drag racing radial for use by street tire class racers. Unlike other drag radials, M&H has geared these tires more for the track and although they do meet DOT requirements, M&H clearly states these tires are for dry pavement racing only, and not intented for street use.
I can't wait to try these things out.

Re: M&H Racemaster Drag Radials in modified mag (BustaNutt-616)
sorry, no word on the sizes yet. another excerpt-
and another excerpt i liked-
they look promising. sounds like what alot of us are looking for. time will only tell how they perform. i can't wait!
These tires are so new that at press time all we knew was there will be a full lineup of sizes for import and domestic sport compacts as well as full size muscle cars.
The M&H drag radials will employ M&H's competitive, sticky, high-traction drag racing rubber compounds. Although these compounds will wear out quickly if used on the street, M&H says these new drag radials are on the borderline of being a pure racing tire.

Re: M&H Racemaster Drag Radials in modified mag (DIRep)
i dont know exactly what sizes they decided to do but when they asked me in November. I suggested 2 sizes to be produced first.. 205/50/15 and 205/50/14
those seem to be the popular sizes that would be best for drag racing and can be used on stock wheels.. i also mentioned to do a 16" but not low profile style... something more for bigger cars such as WRX, SUPRA, etc. I didnt suggest 16" for the honda/acura application since the radials are mostl likely not going to be low profile such as a 40series.. it would have to have some meat... so the 15 and 14" would be perfect for our ride height and fender clearance..

How bout a 205/45/16 like the Nitto 555r..Wouldnt that be a decent compromise b/w a low profile and a big tire for supras etc.? I have the Nittos on my cacr right now and they dont work worth a damn. Keep us updated.

i hope they release some sizes with a taller sidewall. i don't care how sticky they make it, your only gonna get so good of a 60 with a 205/215/or even a 225 50 series tire. just my opinion.

Re: M&H Racemaster Drag Radials in modified mag (MotorMatrix.com)
well, i should have been more clear. i just figured that the new size was an ET Drag, which is what i want. leave the radials to the street guys and dudes trying to make a point. my vehicle sees no street time so even ET Streets wouldnt be something for me.
i realize that the thread started out as a Drag Radial topic but when someone says 22x8x13, i dont think of drag radials. i currently run 22x8x15 ET Drags and have a love/hate relationship. yeah, they stick better than street tires but even in the single digit p.s.i. range they dont wrinkle worth a **** thus making 60s suffer. this is all old news to anyone with experience in the field but i didnt have too many options with trying to clear the accord/prelude brake setup. i do though however, love the overall size for my application, i.e. gearing, power, etc.
a 22x8x13 would be my savior for a better wrinkle wall with keeping the perfect height for my app.
anyone know a 13" wheel that will clear accord/prelude front brakes?

"my vehicle sees no street time so even ET Streets wouldnt be something for me. "
i sure hope this is an all motor car.. cause if this car has any power at all that tire size will be way too small.
we are looking for a 25X8x15 drag radial... but they dont make it. would have to put 16s on the car and switch to the shitty drag radial company to up to that size.

none that i know of. people switch over to civic hubs from the itr. you might be able to use a bogart/etc with extended studs and spacers but i wouldn't recommend it

Finally got to try a pair of these out.
400 wheel turbo prelude, 30 degrees outside and it hooks from a 20 roll.

Re: (CDR)
What about the M/T ET Street radial? Even M/T admits that they hook better than their bias ply ET Street. I think 235/6015 is the shortest tire they make them in?
